The enacted budget makes no changes to the State Operations portion of the Executive Budget (analysis as of March 31, 2005).
The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of January 28, 2005):
- A year end workforce of 956 FTEs, a net decrease of 2 FTEs in the Executive Direction program. One FTE in the Executive program is shifted from General Funds to Special Revenue-Federal funds. During SFY 2004-05 10 FTEs were shifted from the Prevention and Program Support program to Executive Direction (all supported by Special Revenue-Federal funds). The Assembly analysis indicates that three Executive positions have been shifted to federal support. This inconsistency should be clarified at Labor-Management.
- An All Funds increase of $1.15 million (1.5%).According to the assembly analysis this change occurs from an increase of $1.35 million for personal service adjustments, contractual salary increases, promotions, and longevity enhancements offset by decreases totaling $2,385,000 resulting from the shifting three executive positions to federal funding, replacing an outside contractor with agency staff, and imposing stricter controls on personal service and nonpersonal service costs. It should be clarified at Labor-Management what outside contractor was replaced by agency staff and how much this saved OASAS.
- A reduction of $368,000 (1%) in the Executive Direction program, including an increase of $1.4 million (6.7%) in personal service, a reduction of $1.6 million (17.1%) in nonpersonal service, and a reduction of $600,000 (7.1% ) in both the Federal Salary Sharing Account and the associated offset. There is also a $566,000 (20%) increase in the Special Revenue Federal personal service appropriation for the Federal Block Grant. The purpose of this increase should be clarified at Labor-Management but this increase probably funds the positions shifted from the General Fund.
- An increase of $1.5 million (3.8%) in the Institutional Services program, reflecting an increase of $1.5 million (3.4%) in personal service and $504,000 (5.6%) in nonpersonal service.
- Full operation of all 13 ATCs.
- An Aid to Localities increase of $8.5 million for improvements in not for profit provider services, including: recruitment and retention of direct care staff; increases in employee health insurance and general liability insurance costs; and to maintain treatment opportunities for the working poor.
- Funding will be reduced to not for profit providers that deliver less critical and less cost effective services or whose overhead costs are comparatively high.
- Program and reimbursement guidelines for adolescent chemical dependence will be refined.
